well russia slams the u.s. for undermining free trade in fact competition of project in the face of u.s. sanctions. u.s. democrats demand cable and satellite providers justify hosting right wing media outlets a move republicans say isn't it time on freedom of speech. israelis face being bound from public places and even jobs unless that being front cemented against covert 19 but the so cool to green pulses are raising concerns over human rights always a choice has a consequence and it shouldn't be that everybody in israel suffers because some people make a bad choice i think it's absurd that think it's ridiculous basic human rights so be ignored you.

angry french farmers don't fall to lies and old timers outside government buildings to protest against the removal of meat from school menus. making sure you never miss a story this is our national live from moscow round the clock hello and a very warm welcome. well starting off this hour russia is accusing washington of undermining free trade and putting its due political interests above competition and it's off to report on u.s. sanctions against the north stream to gas pipeline project revealed a total of 18 european companies have dropped out due to u.s. pressure across the developments for us it's equals tunnel. from the very outset

the u.s. has been hell burned on do you really ignored stream to me so this time the u.s. state department has compiled and submitted a report to us congress kind of detailing the measures they have taken so far in this direction and how effective these measures have been this report by the way also comes at a very sensitive timing because the biden administration has been accused of well in the action of not being keen enough on preventing nordstrom too from coming to fruition this report is not yet available to the public but net price the spokesman for the u.s. state department has revealed of that some 18 companies european companies have decided to pull out of the nord stream to amid u.s. pressure and when i say pressure i mean sanctions so far the united states have been sanctioning the russians while the u.s. for excuse me the e.u. firms have remained sort of in the clear but that's only so far this constant

threat of sanctions coming from washington while it has always been and is still hanging over european firms so well 18 of them have decided that better safe than sorry and while they decided to cut ties with the project now when it comes to russia moscow has always been saying that the north that north stream too has nothing to do with and with the united states that it is strictly a matter of relations between russia and europe and germany in particular because that's where the pipeline is going and all these efforts that the u.s. that the u.s. has been taking russia views it as world geo political warfare here is the latest reaction that we have on this the u.s. state department has acknowledged that america is undermining the principles of free trade and competition subjugating market laws to its own geopolitical interests and acting inspired of the wheel of silver nations but there's an added layer of irony to this story because remember how. he said that well 18 companies

have decided to cut ties with nordstrom to the right and the way this information was delivered to the media by price the spokesman for the state department one might you might be misled into thinking that all of that was achieved under the biden administration which turns out is not the case and it only came to light when price was confronted by a piece of matley over the issue of. strategy including the legislative strategy of the strategy of course congress is has been behind has been working to good effect the. credit is winding down all this work was done the previous administration and out of all they didn't want all the money. are you telling me that 'd i am all we. really is all of a sudden of all while you are mentally i am speaking for. the

man. i am not oh i know studying for the department of state ok the people who have been working miss the people who are working this now were the same people a month ago or the same people. 3 months ago or so so essentially what happened there could easily be interpreted as the state department kind of trying and taking credit for what was achieved when donald trump was still president here price effectively confirming just that and again quite ironically because this is something that happened with the trumpet ministration at the very start of his presidency when basically the democrat leaning media they were just trying to pin all successes of his administration on the legacy of obama and his cabinet and so on and so forth but basically now this is all is revolving now around the nordstrom to project which is by the way 97 percent complete out of the total of the. all of

100 kilometers of the pipeline only if you doesn't are left to be well laid on the seabed so there is that and basically this whole thing germany for instance is very keen on finishing this project it has repeatedly said that they are very much interested in world flicking the on switch on the on the north stream to pipeline so effectively it pitches the u.s. against its ally in europe germany and we'll see who will come out of this victorious. us democrats are calling on cable and satellite t.v. providers to justify hosting channels labeled by them as spreading this information some to put to news outlets of longer than this information rumor mill some conspiracy theory hot birds that produce content that leads to real harm to our knowledge the cable satellite and over the top companies that disseminate these

media outlets to american viewers have done nothing in response to that misinformation by these words among the channels mentioned are fox news the one american news network and news max the allegations are over that coverage of the 2020 presidential election and the coronavirus pandemic republicans for their part condemned the democrats for attacking free speech the democrats are sending a message that is as clear as it is troubling these regulated entities will pay a price if the targeted newsrooms do not conform to democrats preferred political narratives this is a chilling transgression of the free speech rights that every media outlet in this country enjoys well our legal and need to unless lionel claims it's all nonsense and not up to the democrats to decide what should and should not be broadcast. since when is this a concerted who. what if they say something that thrower to live with

it move on there's always something wrong who says it's wrong who says it's misinformation the next time you are a spouse or a partner or a lover or relative if they say listen i want to talk to you say no i don't want to talk to you why because you spout misinformation when you listen to that so why the name of god do we put up with this nonsense we are looking at it complete and total disintegration of the 1st amendment and freedom of speech because now we're saying oh no no we want you to speak we just don't want to hear misinformation disinformation dad information conspiracy theories unfounded who decides that since one is had a disqualifier and the dissemination of information my god i'm telling you right now you're not going to believe this but i'll bet you somewhere someplace somebody

might think that what you and i are saying is descend from asian shore to do shut us down if you don't like it go someplace else or clarify it this is the most frightening i have ever seen ever. as raney's who refused to get vaccinated against covert could be banned from jobs on most public places but the new regulations are facing a fair criticism as porous here reports. this is higher corn street in tel aviv which runs parallel to the coastline it's where many of the city's hotels are located but right now things could not be quieter there are no tourists and the airport is closed this is one of the few hotels that is open but this is the post this we can go assuming you want to enter it you have to have what is called a green possible it's issued off to persons received to thank summations 21 days

a pos and in a month's time just opposite the hotel you won't be able to into shops like this you won't be able to enter supermarkets gym shopping same to synagogues in fact you won't be able to go just about anywhere in israel and you have a green possible but it comes as the government steps up if it's to vaccinate the population it's being met with mixed reaction on the street i think it's necessary i think it's a good idea and we can't force everyone to vaccinate but always a choice has a consequence and it shouldn't be that everybody in israel suffers because some people make a bad choice i think it's absurd i think it's ridiculous basic human rights are being ignored here if i choose what to put into my body and i choose not to put a box in myself i'm going to be. banished from getting into a soccer game getting into a mall taking my boy to a day trip it's ridiculous and so you know human rights are even more than and

it's very easy to slide when you start even with the good intentions to do things like. too much government. in foresman so jerusalem plans to ban and vaccinated people from certain jobs and is won't get anyone found forging vaccine certificates will be jailed a black market for counterfeit certificates it's having on telegram already 100000 uses have joined groups. that promote forgeries i think that the government should not be bad people from having jobs i think that the government should most definitely ban. people who put others at risk from jobs in which they can put others at risk more important than my job is my life and in my life is at stake if i don't take the vaccination so i would take the

vaccination and if i get to keep my job because of it that it's an extra bonus. i understand if people take this this road in in for a job a certain document i wouldn't do it personally but i can completely understand this is a growing very thing that the way it was so this gobies or make them or buy them should be punished vaccine has a tendency and skepticism have become a growing concern in recent weeks as israel's a world leading inoculation program slows down just under 2000000 israelis have not received either of the 2 shots and many say they don't plan to it's forcing the government to come up with new and same tips to encourage people to receive shots thank you ladies and gentlemen we are very happy to host you in the world's 1st ever thank you nation far. thank you

thank you thank. you thank you i think it's a good idea i think there are a lot of people that are just. lazy. thank. you thank. you. for putting up more people come because of kind of faith and i hope everyone will come and i will keep themselves safe. thank you. well we spoke about the new measures with israeli political on the south of to west can who also warns that they breach fundamental freedoms. green pass through it is not a good idea we should leave the people of the freedom of choice as long as they

don't harm others it's really gets to the basic idea of freedom of choice if somebody wants to get vaccinated i mean it's a good idea to do it i do most of my family members also but if someone chooses not to do it it's his rights not to be discriminated not to abuse victim of. public duty for that which it should give them back on normal lives keeping in mind there are certain groups of people whose house should be especially protected and not to harm everybody not to harm our children not to harm our future not to harm my common. whatever in europe french farmers have the dumped and old tires outside government buildings in the city of rio over the removal of me from school menus.

well they also import the cows and goats to set up many families in protest at the move by the city however they will forty's scrapping meat from school meals that will actually help in the fight against the current virus. the new health brought a cold calls for to meet a social distancing in school canteens a single meat free menu will serve students faster and streamlined meals or many parents are fuming at the way of warning that families from more deprived communities in particular will suffer too soon this is what i think that unfortunately is a very political decision which could have been made with more consultation and in particular with the participation of parents for some families it is the only possibility to eat to have meat in their diet at least a few times a week off and on children are growing and we're depriving them of dietary diversity for me it's a restriction on our freedoms i don't understand how in peace can intervene in

questions of diet the way they do and if we have to respect their ideology they must respect ours so i am absolutely against it. paul refer milly's who relied on canteens on schools to provide meat in meals to children will now have no more so we can say that the move leader has absolutely no solidarity with less well off residents with working class families and that worries us as for the farmers what they say the decision is just that a latest assault on their ability to earn a living and farming is again targeted by what a minority of french people are saying and unfortunately for us it's another blow in our heads. we're at the city well now because they can't impose their ideas workforce in particular burning meat in schools supposedly because of coronavirus while still ahead of french professors want the minister of higher education out after how calls to draw a clear line between academic research activism and opinion in universities that's

after short breaks a type. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

hello again i want to stay international has changed its mind over describing jailed russian opposition forgot to say to me as a prisoner of conscience it's how the human rights organization previously labeled him when he was arrested in moscow on his for tons job money last month quarter picks up the story. well it was through a leaked email on twitter that we 1st heard of amnesty international's decision to

revoke russian opposition activist aleksei deval new status as a prisoner of conscience and r.t. has asked for confirmation from amnesty international with regards to this move but before we go any further let's take a look at what exactly that e-mail said amnesty international is no longer able to consider the lexan of only a prisoner of conscience given the fact that he advocated violence and discrimination and he has not retracted such statements of all he was arrested last month mediately upon his return to moscow from germany where he was receiving medical treatment to russia says that he violated a probationary sentence that was given to him back in 2014 and now he's facing 2 and a half years in a penal colony because of it now it's interesting that amnesty international decided to label the opposition activist a prisoner of conscience in the 1st place back in january because he doesn't exactly have a clean track record when it comes to conscientious acts i mean just last week a moscow court gave the man a nearly $12000.00 fine for insulting the 94 year old veteran of the 2nd world war

he called him a traitor to the country we also know that he's never never made a secret about his feelings about the caucasus for example he said that russia needs to stop quote stop feeding the caucuses and there was another video that he came out with years ago in which he compared people from the caucasus to cockroaches in the video what if the cockroach is too big and the fly is too aggressive. well in this case i recommend a gun. and that video actually still. of on these official you tube channels so for those who know that information they can make their own judgment as to whether or not amnesty international's decision was correct or not. hundreds of top academics have signed an open letter demanding that a french minister quit after she called for an investigation into so-called islamic

leftism in education now the tom has become an increasingly popular way to describe an alliance between progressives and muslims that some believe we can see a society i think that islam and lived his muse each new with societies or who and universities are not immune and society well she also highlighted that the investigation aimed to determine the difference between academic research and militant activism and opinion in universities the minister's remarks come on the back of legislation that critics say is anti islamic including a new law against radicalism that allows greater oversight and mosques on religious schools in october another french minister claimed islamic left isn't was wreaking havoc on the country's higher education facilities we also people in paris what they thought about the proposed inquiry. no. we have to i think the government is

open least lama phobic the media all say the same the bitterness towards muslims i think it's nonsense i believe that such aggression against muslims is an over reaction and it is completely incomprehensible i have a feeling that muslims have no right to live freely in france there is a confusion between the terms extremists and the person who practices his religion peacefully so some french have this image of muslims as terrorists or extremists and it is not rate. of assistance from the police once again we're talking about using a strategy that we have known for a long time distraction and polemics it's exhausting it takes away my powers it makes me sick if you. don't like this concept i think is the wrong word and by the want to be movement but i don't really like that confusion. now one of the $600.00 academics who backed their platter told us the ministers outlast is just the

government's latest onslaught on academia. as for those who signed the letter there were over 600 at the beginning now there are over 13000 from the university sphere who demand the mr quits because we are not mislead thing that she must understand the consequences of such her positions and of her actions during for years all the loss of projects were aimed at limiting higher education friends i think the students have the right to choose theories to study at university i'm teaching the theory of colonialism the theory of young the theory of intersexuality and to have a group of students who are absolutely capable of recessing all the information they're given and if understanding it they're also capable of seeing the reasonable things in regards to life and friends particularly in regards of the phenomena of structural racism or the phenomena of discrimination are sexism this theories are very useful and there is no need at all to regulate any of the areas. crowds have

rallied in the caucuses country of georgia off to the arrest of opposition m.p. nneka melia while his detention comes hours off to pot about named a new prime minister his predecessor opposed to malia's arrest over a. crisis b.m.p. who's the leader of the united national movement is accused of inciting violence taken back to protests in 2019 back that he was released on bail but how to wear a tracking bracelet put in november he refused to wear the device and bail was increased by $12000.00 but again he refused to pay. for all the world news the killing of a 16 year old protester has sparked father rallies in the myanmar city of young go on demonstrators whoop to approach posters of a sniper who allegedly shot the boy last saturday police opened fire on anti coote demonstrators in iran today killing 2 and injuring more than 20. and it to me is

loud continues to erupt it fired. into a huge plume. if smoke now hangs above the peak of europe's most active volcano the eruption also spewed out 2 lava flows although feel far to say there was no need of front of actuation touching the 5th time mount etna has erupted in the last 7 days well that gives you a good idea of how things are looking for now and good to have you with us and have a great day. one else seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't hold. any.

get to shape out these days you can't get out of here and in gainesville equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. we're more politicized than ever we're more polarized than ever the 21st century when speed is measured in megabytes per 2nd. him electronic mail electronic money electronic media infinite possibilities for exchanging information i mean the. freedom of speech and social media bents censorship and double standards who should judge what can be said online. the internet audience know totals almost 4500000000 almost all of them are active

social network users put one wrong move on their pages deleted digital annihilation don't exist anymore. it's not who runs the show on the web how can anyone stand up to the tech giants if even heads of state face the threat of being banned is there any limits to all that virtual power of the. middle east but i will have reasonable way. oh in the traditional motion picture story the villains are usually defeated the ending is a happy one. i can make no such promise for the picture you're about to watch the story isn't over. i

remember the nurse bringing my father down and he gone from a man to this almost non human creature. piers he starts to try to get rid of the equipment that they used to put him in sensory isolation he's mumbling incoherently he's trying to remove his goggles he's trying to remove his cuffs. over and over again that he has to be incoherent. he trusts dumped his we put on lights in them. but some betray that trust. for the last 16 years dealt is working for the british and american governments least psychologically to destroy. the struggle for its entirety just seem to have you and me and. a monthly friend to spell real am. i don't know what the mistake is but i know. the way i'm scale of his will. to tell

the story we need to get back to the 1950 s. when scottish psychiatry's stop to ewen cameron experimenting on his own patients. is there a pareto among us james caught with the normal model world on rest we are seeing an enormous demand for knowledge concerning the effects of stress. on your stocks once they just went to the end of 5 agent he simply identified himself as the richest most when they lifted. hood over my head i see andrew standing in front of me in the middle of the desert in afghanistan. truth simply saying. there's nothing i we the british government can do about your situation you have to cooperate with the americans they said what do you think about waterboarding i said i like it

a lot that all the good stuff and now. i'll specialist parts of. our leaders. coming up. to me and. in the past we have foolishly released hundreds and hundreds of dangerous terrorists. only to meet them again on the battlefield. i just saw.
